Bodywork
The car presents well overall in its Nardo Grey finish, but it isn’t a concours example. There are cosmetic imperfections and areas that would benefit from attention if you’re looking for a show-standard finish.
Importantly, it is a solid, usable car, not one hiding major structural issues. It’s an ideal classic to drive and enjoy immediately while improving at your own pace.
Mechanically the car is in great shape.
A new carburettor has recently been fitted and the engine starts readily, idles well and pulls strongly. The upgraded T50 5-speed gearbox is a worthwhile improvement over the original transmission, making the car much more enjoyable to drive and more relaxed at higher speeds.
Interior
The interior retains its classic early Celica character and provides the simple, analogue driving experience these cars are loved for, Air conditioning blows cold and works great!
Registration
The car is fully UK registered, supplied with its V5, UK registration CVO 691K, and is ready to drive away.
Summary
Early TA22 Celicas are becoming increasingly difficult to find, particularly genuine, solid cars that are already registered in the UK.
If you’re searching for an honest, usable example that you can enjoy immediately while adding your own finishing touches, this Celica represents an excellent opportunity.
